The MARYLAND Democrats.

Ten new members were elected last
night at the meeting Of the Maryland
Democratic Association. The committee
appointed at the last meeting to draw up
resolutions on the Oberly letter was ready
TO report when called upon by d. f. Guy,
the president Of the association The reso-
lutions, which were somewhat lengthy, and
which claim for the association the "intcl-
ligence to interpret the law and sufficient
moral courage TO obey Its principles" and a
regret that ia Democratic official OF high
standing as Civil Service Commissioner
could be induced, on the unsupported tes-
timony Of Republican organs, to illuminate
acriminal charge against the good name OF
the Democratic State associations OF Wash
iDgton,n were read and unanimously
adopted. Commissioner 0berly may now
expect to wither and grow thin. The club
indorsed the ticket Of Baltimore, and a
committee was appointed to provide speak
ere and prepare for ratification meeting
on next Monday night.

Heavy Express Robbery.

A heavy robbery Of the Pacific Express
safe somewhere between Little Rock aud
Northern Texas, on the Iron Mountain
Road, occurred several days ago. The
amount is not exactly known, but 1t Is
estimated at from $50, 900 to 100000. The
messenger was j. b. Owens, one OF the
oldest, most trusted messengers In the
service, and who recently delivered $3.50, 900
safely. Since the discovery Of the robbery
detectives have been searching for Owens,
but thus far without success,

The BEST medical writer's claim that the
successful remedy for nasal catarrh must
be non-irritatipg, easy Of application, and
one that will, by It's own action, reach all
the remote sores and liberated surfaces.
The history Of the efforts to treat catarrh
during the past few years obliged us to al
NIT that only one remedy has completely
met these conditions, and that is Ely's
Cream Balm. This safe and pleasant rem.
edy has mastered catarrh as nothing else has
ever done, and both physicians and patients
freely concede this fact. The more distress
ing symptoms quickly Yield to 1t.

Gone to an Asylum

A letter from Topeka, Kansas, to the Gin
cinnati Enquirer states Boston Corbett, who
shot John Wilkes Booth, has been declared
hopelessly insane and guardian appointed
by the probate judge to take charge Of his
property. Corbett was taken to the State
Insane Asylum, and will probably continue
an inmate OF the institution for as long as
he lives, as physicians say that 1t is impos-
sible for him to be cured. Corbett has ex-
hibited signs of insanity for several years
and imagined himself pursued by friends Of
Wilkes Booth.

A PASTOR's RESIGNATION.
Rev. Mr.. Kent breaches His Farewell
Sermon.

sermon.
Rev. Mr.. Kent, who has been the faithful
pastor Of the Church Of Our Father for the
past ten years, preached his farewell SER
mon to his little flock last Sunday morning.
At the close Of the impressive sermon the
pastor went into brief history of his con-
nection with the church. He told the con-
gregation Of his marriage among them, how
many had grown during the tenth part Of q
century TO manhood and wsmanhood, aud
how he had striven to serve them, and how
he had labored for their spiritual welfare.
His efforts 10 increase the congregation
were fruitless, and he attributed that fact
TO his lack Of oratorical powers.
In concluding he said ~ leave you with
regret and my sincere prayer for your pros
periiy, and shall always be glad to see and
take any OF you by the hand whenever and
wherever we may meet"
The congregation were taken entirely by
surprise, ard many Of them found It I'm
possible to control their feelings, for tho
tears would come and they came freely, and
the many expressions OF sincere esteem for
their pastor very clearly proved the love
and esteem was not all on one side, and all
united in saying the minister had done q
noble work among them.
There was no trouble between DIR. Kent and
his church, and his resignation, while 1t
was accepted, was surprise TO all. Some
OF the conservative members OF the church,
about year ago, quietly assailed the liberal
views OF DR.. Kent, but beyond that no un-
pleasantness had ever occurred.
The general convention will meet In
New York city next week, and the congre-
cation will then endeavor to procure some
preacher who will fill the church by his
eloquence and relieve the financial strin.
gency, which is the direct cause Of the pas
tors resignation.
